This argument would touch their man

able to keep their company in the

judicious expenditure Of a part of the
money now spent for rum. But, even
the most attractive homes, ingenious
and loving wives, often are not able to
keep out of the "bigh licensed parlors"

IL IS q singular fact that some Demo-
Gratis see nothing bui beauty in Mr.
Cicyeiand's face and form, hear moth
ing but eloqneDce IN his speeches, and
are indignant at any failure to zen
thuse" over him aud his admirable
young wife. On the other hand. many
Republicans see nothing but coarsness
in the Presidents personal appearance,
hear neither wisdom nor eioqnence drop
from his lips and. have no good to say
of him. For our own part, the fact
that we do not approve many of the
official acts of the President and have
50 expressed ourselves from time to
time, does not prevent our forming an
unbiased opinion of the man personally.
10 our opinion his personal appearance
is much moro prepossessing than his
pictures indicate, and he shows himself
to be a man of more resources than he
gets credit for. There are probably
several thousand school-boys III the
country that can beat him speech-mak-
ing; nor is he o man TO be compared in
any way with his two immediate pre-
decessors. or his immediate successor.
He is neither rs much of man as his
partisan friends give him credit for. nor
rs little OF a man as his partisan oppo-
nen,s try to make him out. All parties
unite in praising the beauty. grace and
tact Of Mrs. Cleveland.

A Little Taffy for Madison.

After Chief Justice Cole had flushed
reading his address of welcome to the
president and wife, not one word of
which anybody heard off the stage, Mr..
Cleveland arose and in a clear voice,
distinctly audible all over the grounds
spoke as follows:
After week spent in travel and in
visiting the people of the great west
we have come to rest awhile at the
Capital of Wisconsin, known MS the
most beautiful in location and scenery
of all the cities of this region. We
have come to see your lakes and other
features of beauty that give you the
reputation so well deserved.
You are not to understand that we
need and desire rest so much that we
do not care to see the good people of
Madison, for that would be mistake.
Though we see them at their home for
the first time they are not unknown to
US. We knew you at the seat of the
National Government through your
fellow-townsman, who has done honor
to his ONE and to the neighbors by a
most successful and conscientious per-
Torrance of important public duty, and
who has earned, as he has received the
respect and esteem Of every citizen who
desires the welfare of bis country. So
our desire to actually see you and TO
know you better is perfectly natural.
1t seems to me when | planned the
trip which we have undertaken that
Madison would be a proper place at
which to make our first stop for rest. /
have always observed thatFwhen man
wants to do something of his kind he
can quite readily find way to Justify
it.
When l conceived the idea OF stay
ing at Madison over Sunday and testing
the kindness Of her citizens and t he
hospitality of the Postmaster General
all had to do was TO imagine that we
would be very much fatigued when we
reached here and in need OF the rest /
was determined we should have. Thus
we are here aud tired enough to justify
my plans. am already satisfied that
all descriptions Of your civ with which
/ have been favored have failed to give
me an adequate idea Of its beauty, Of
its broad and pleasant streets, and of
fits fine public aud private buildings /
am alretdy prepared to venture the as
sertion based upon very slight observa-
ton, that this is the home OF kind hearty,
and hospitable people. The influence
upon community of such II university
as has its seat here; the aims mater of
hundreds of educated and useful men
scattered throughout our entire western
country is greater than is at first glance
II fosters II certain refine
ment and cultivation which radiate 70
all the homes within its sphere, vastly
their value as nurseries of
steady and intelligent citizenship. |
expect to heartily enjoy my stay here
and to always hereafter cherish pleas
ing recollections of your city and its in
habitants.

who has been paying her annual visit to

very useful ones, and the hours of work
were the golden ones between 0 and II
in the morning. when the average sum

doing finely with one of Corneille' most
tiresome plays one morning when the
sophomore's sister, who told the man

by petting my hand every other minute
that way shall put down my book.

play? No, indeed. But I'll make q oar

give you both my hands for five minutes

than that. just give me one hand fol
ten minutes and go right on with the
